ALMOST A PANIC.
a Red Bluff Fire Breaks Up a Circus
Performance.

lCopyr9hi, 1887. by the California Associated Pres,
RED BLUFF, August 7th-While Robfpson's
circus was in full blast last night about O'Clock
an alarm OF fire was given, which came very
near creating panic unIer the canvas The
alarm was for the burning of the Red Bluff
brewery, which was completely DESTROYED The
brewery was situated on the northern limits of
the town. When the alarm was heard in the
circus great many fremen and others ran for
the entrance, and this caused the people to be-
lleve tnat the circus tent was on fire. The per
formers continued their work without n
Haw, and the attaches assured the people that
no danger need be apprehended, and this
quieted the tumultuous audience. When the
lire appliances reached the railroad crossing.
Robinson directed horses to be attached to the
engine and carts. and by doing so performed
good service in staying the progress OF the fire,
because the engines were at the scene of work
not bit too soon. large crew
of the circus men also worked hard
at the fire, aud Robinson sent an
other crew of trusted men through
the town to look after and prevent
any thieving work. The origin of the fire is un-
known. 1t started on the second floor over the
furnace. and probably came from defective
tue. The firemen had hard work to confine the
fire to the brewery and the brewers residence.
and were greatly assisted therein by Robinson's
forces: After the fire some of the firemen
waited upon Mr.. Robinson and thanked him for
his kind assistance. The loss to the brewery
and house is about $4,000, on which there is

A Reported Recent Heavy Transaction in
California Raisins.

NEW YORK, August 6th-[Special THE
Produce Exchange Reporter says: One of the
largest operations in California raisins ever
reported in the market has been completed.
The transactions include some 20, 600 boxes
of three-crown loose and London LAYERS,
purchased by local jobbers. The price did
not transpire, but we understand that the
last invoice price was shaded considerably
The jobbing demand for this fruit is active,
and this fact has encouraged buyers to
bring about a stock under better control
and for the maintenance of a remunerative
price; but toward the close there was
general easing off, and lower quotations on
nearly all grades. The decline on fine
woods is most marked, because medium
grades have been gradually shaded for
some two or three weeks. Among the sales
of the week were 10000 pounds of Califor-
MIA Spring and $500 of California Fall at
private terms; $4,000 Eastern Oregon at
Ia to DC, and 179,600 of Territory at 10
to 26c. The total sales of foreign and do
